Mr. Moore moved that the bill be recommitted, lhat his resolution of instruction, offered jesterdny, bo taken up. Agreed to. Mr. Moore spoke at leiiplh in sunnortor this ivsolo. thin and exihihiled in a very able mam. or what would properly constitute the property of hanks, intended to be taxed under a constitution which proposes to tax banks equally He sought to show the distinction between property and businofs credit, ihe latter of which he contended should not he taxed. This was Mr. Moore's first effort, mid it was well received, as nuirk- d with much rosea rch and evincimr a hiidi order of tab-tit. Ho spoke over an hour, nnd wo must rely upon Ids own report. The Senate then took a recess. 24 o'clock, P. M. The following resolution of instructions beiiiB before l ie Sonale Retolved, That ihe President of every Hanking Com pany, slmll make out nnd deliver to ihe County Audi- ;r, in 1110 inonin 01 At ay, tno amount ttr notes and ilU discounted or purchased: nionevs loaned, nnd other properly, effects or dues of such Hank or Hanking Company, equal to tho ngsregate amount of ihe capital stock of snid Hnnknr Hanking Company, nl its true value in money, and the average amount of ihe surplus nnd contingent fund, nnd of individual profits, (not in- eiiiueu 111 smu surplus ut cniuiiigetit luiul.J during Hie preceding year Mr. Walk up moved to add Ihe following tn Mr. Moore's resolution of instructions; which Mr. M. accepted : 'mvideil that the amount of noted and bills din. counted or purchased, moneys leaned nnd other nro. perly, effects unities ot such Hank or Hanking Company, shall in no cmo he less than iho amount id' the capital stock paid in. Mr. Sherman here remarked that ho did nut wui t. Ilimw any obstacle in the way of the passage of thin tax bill. Ho said he would like to concur with the other members nf the committee on Fiimiu e; hut as each must answer to hi constiiiicnis, it was but pro ier that no slioiild give his views. Ho could not ex- nect aperient bill which would tax all equally; and lie appreciated lite dilln uliy unending it. He instanced many defects: hut the nriiiciole of eoioiliiv h.il been sought by the committee, as to nil property except that of Hank. Hut, as a Democrat, he could not consent lo make iho Hunks tho scape-goat for all Ihe odious features of this bill. He had been reared a Democrat, and in 1U 10 had taken 11 stand against hanks. Hut we have banks, and wo nro accustomed to them And since we nro to have bank, ho did not want better or aafer than those established under tho laws of I Si:,. Ho (lid not Hunk the skil id man could devisn n heller or safer system than that. Hut Ihe question was not now whether wo should destroy banks. Tho constitution imposed no such duty upon us. It did not require us to lax ihoin out of ex- iHlooce. It only reouircd us to tnx them eiionllv with other properly. In the Convention the question was wnetiier Hie banks should pay six per cent, upon their prolils, or should they ho taxed as other property. It was not how run you frame a bill that will lax banks three or four limes more than other property. Ho said there must be something wrong in this bill. With a capital of a little over $7,RIMMI0, in hunks, this nil proposed to tnx them un over f-.M.OllO.OUO. Herein-ore banks have paid nboui oO.llllll. mid imw von on- poso lo tax them at one lull sweep over (200 0"l). He illustrated that tho bills and notes discounted are not the true measure of Iho properly of the banks, ns these often represent the deposits. flir. Atkinson said ihe bill did not tax a dollar of the posits. Mr. U. replied lhat in terms il did not. but wim not that the etfeclT He said eoualitv of luxation would lux iho iminy .! hills equal to circulation, less the amount uf the sum required to be kept in tho vaults. He differed from Ihe Senator from Scioto so far Hint he would tax ihe irnncliHcs of a bank on which Ihey realized lame prnlits. Mr. Monro nked him if the limit on the interest banks were allowed to charge, was not a reason for limiting the tnx on its Irauclnse. Mr. N. said he thought not ; and ho lliniijjht individ uals should be limited to six per cent. too. fie could but regurd the Irauchise of a hank as properly in the hands nf the bank : and widl tho nctit .1 eaiiitdl. less tho sum kept in the vaulls, he thought should he taxed. 'I he method proposed for taxing banks here, was L'alcuhitpil to crenlo nil iisoe before iho nennln in miii.li iiiu uniinn mill IM'' meins Ul mo Ul WOlllll III placed on tho side of principle, nnd this Lee ihi turn and the Democracy will be placed 011 the side of in ins ure, mm wrong, lie cited ttutt it hail been snid on this floor, thai tho City Hunk had been defrauded out of over 11 hundred ihoiisand dollars, Ihe wholoof which was in bills and notes dicounicd; and yet this bill ptoposed lo tax every tent of these worthless hillsaud notes without the least abate ment for ibejr roltenness Ho did not believe that it was the policy of the Do. mncrney In legislate for the destruction of the hanks. Hut il Hie lime did mine w lieu it was necessary lo lestmy them, let it he done in open day Huh', unh a fair, open legislation, and not by a sjsiein of anna. s illation.Mr. Sherman here gave way, nnd the resolution was Inid on the table, to give way to Mr. Kiddle, who said : Mr. President t 1 have iu.it heard of Ihn death of Ihe venerable Jeremiah Morrow. Il might ho more proper lor some other Senator tn announce iho fuel. Hut I have felt as it I cr.ild not resist the impulse to sneak of ihis Intly greHt bereavement of the Stale of Uliio. Iho history ol (mvernor Morrow is the hisiorv of ibis State. Ho was one of the early pioneers of the West, (lo was a member of the Convention that framed Ihu first constitution of the Stale: mid subsn. quently he held tho distinguished places of (ioveruor 01 Uhioaiiii uniieit Htniesflennior. lie was long iden tified with mo great improvements id the Stale. J well recollect being present, Mr. President, wheu lio. in company with De Witt Clinton, broke the soil ns the beginning of our great system of Canals, ihe mighty results of which we could now see in tho develop-ments of prosperity around us. A great nnd good nmu has passed from among us to the rewards o tho great and good. We cannot he in sensible to the occasion; and as a tiihuto of respect. and to show nur appreciation of his great services, 1 oll-r lor adoption the following resolutions ; RfMotttd, by the (i mt rat Axsrmldy of the Ntate of Ohio, That this denornl Assembly lias heard w iib deep sensi bility llm tintiunciaiioii ot tno th-aiti ot Jeremiah A lor row, late of the county ol Warren, one of the rally pioneers of the West, one who has tilted the olliee ol (iovernor or unto, neiiator in Uotigress, nnd other important trusts under the territorial nnd Stale govern ments, and one ol the frmueri of the lirst constitution of Ohio.

I do not know, Mr. President, lhat it is iiecewnrv for ine lo add any thing lo what has already been said in favor ot tho passage of the resolution now before the Somite, Hut having boon long acquainted with the distinguished individual whoso iinmo appear in these resolutions, and whoso death Is announced thereby, 1 maV be permitted to say that the invaluable services of the distinguished individual who has fallen, are known ami appreciated byihowholo people nl Ohio and I uinv add to Ihe remnrksof ihe Senator from Hamilton (Mr. Kiddle.) that his services in iho ere at railroad em torprio nf Ohio, and especially that of the Little Miami Railroad, as ill President, will long he remembered by tho inhabitants tf the Miami Valley. Asa tribute of respect, I hope, Mr. President, that the resolutions will be adopted. Mr. F ml no then oll'erod the following resolution: Rcsolveil, bu the Senate of Ohio, 1 hat Hon. A. N. Hid die bo requested to forward his remark tmulo on iho introduction ol the resolutions announcing the deaiii 01 tho venerable Jeretnish Morrow, lo he entered on the journals of the Sennle, Mr. Cox said- Mil. PaKsiPRUTt Sir, we base just beard the sad intelligence that a great man has fallen ! A mail whose noble nnd exalted virtues whose Christian nnd philanthropic course through life has leli a favorable and mi indelible imprcssiou on ihe feelings ol nil who know him. Ho has fall -n, and gone to that " bourne from whence no traveler roiiirns. 1 Oovorimr Morrow istiomoie! Sir, his manly voico will no longer he heard in th councils ol our country, nit wuoie ca reer throuch life hns been a brilliant one, and that of true patriot und an honest man. At all times endeavor iiiir to advance tho best interest of our common country in establishing a system ot education, hoping thereby to diffuse a spirit of emulation and virtue in the minds ol the joutu ilimugnouiuur great mate, iiere, sir, must he permitted to sympathize with the general feeling ilmt pervades the whole extent of our country, nmiconaole with Ins amiable family in their find lie-rnavement.Therefore 1 hope that the resolutions offered by the Honorable Ncimlor Irom Hamilton and Ureeiie will prevail. 1 he Senate adjourned.

A call of the House was hud, and 70 members re. ported present. Tho vote wa taken on ihe pnosnge of the bill, mid resulted yeas 45, nays 24. So the bill was lost for the want of a constitutional majority. Mr. Wellor moved to reconsider ihe vole, and then moved to lay that motion on the table. Agreed to. The Speaker presented a report from the Audi. or of Slate, in compliance wilh a resolution of Ihe House, showing the taxes assessed on lha Hank (or the year IHol, in conformity wilh the law of lust winter.

The vote wns token 011 the passage of the hill, and resulted yens 45, nays . no me nut was nisi, ior tnn want ot a consiiiu-tionnl majority. ftir, unmon moved to reconsider this vole. Mr. Means moved to lav lhat motion on the table.

Agreed to; nnd the bill was read a : third lime and lost yeas 47, nays 21. I mr. minium moved to reconsider Hit vote. Mr. beHlouil said ho uroolll vn,,. n,.a oil ,n.,i;,,.

The members wero here to nltend to the busi ness of the House, nnd Vet lumllv n bill i-ot.l.l bo passed without first being lost, and then reconsidered. I lohoped this priii-lieo would be discontinued, find let iho first vote decide thn fate of the hill. Mr. Hoiik. hotted thut llmt mlvice Mould tint hn fnt. lowed. He regretted tne practice referred to a- touch anybody, hut if the advice just given was followed, many important bills would be lost, and ibis hill among the number. This wns an important bill, and should ho passed. Mr. Colo said he would vole nitauist the reconsider- nlioii, ns he was opposed lo appeals in civil cases. Mr. Wind, of Warren, snid he should vole Hfiiinul Ihe jnolinn to reconsider. He wnsoppnxed loaipeals. lid therefore Opposed to thi bill. It un linnrcesmirv. and involved suitors in additional rusts. Again, us our courts wen w organized, this bill would burden mid break up Ihe judicial system of the Ntate. It placed an amount of labor on iho district, courts, which they ""' 01 periorm, ns the terms were now arranged. HesidoM an appeal was only all appeal Irom one jury to another, mid lhat miuhl be attained bv n new trial without anneal. I Mr. (lest thoiieht the motion oiiLdit to nasi. The ill ought not to he lost. It provided for anoellate 1 jurisdiction in these courts. It was ns necessary to have 11 re trial of the farts, nn ol the law. As oiir laws now I, three trials could be le.d in ,.i tl... ri.,l.i id only one to get Ihe facts riidit. mid it was ns nee- ossary to ascertain the facts correctly ns to get law decidedly right. The common pleas hud but one judge, and unless this hill passed, ihe most imporlaut suits would be loft to his derision, mnde in ihe pressure of multifnrinus duti-s. As to gelling a new iriul before tho sumo judge, it was always a dilliciilt tiifk. He-Hides it was thodesiirn of the CoiislillilioiDil Convent i, m hat the district court should have appellate jurisdic 11 n" never uesicneil to lie n lio-re oiinereoort. Mr. Nmilh, of Stark, said he should vote neainst re coilNieralion, as he Win opposed to appeals. Iho nudum to rei ider was then u-'reed lo veos 47, nays 2IJ. A cull o the House wns then had. nnd 72 members reported present. The House then took a recess. o'clock P. At.

It was eoinir back lo an einloded svatem which had been tried, and found too burdensome. I he question on Ihe passage of the bill was then not. and resulled yens II I, nnys . So llm hill was piused. Mr. Honk, from the Judiciary commilleo. reported back Ihe Senate bill providing lor the issuing of mni-riage licenses, in cases of disability id' Probate ,lude, wilh amendments, extending the provisions of the bill so us to enable the Clerks to issin- licenses w hen there is a vacancy in ihe olliee of Prohuie Judge, mid recotu mended its pasago.

Mr. Covey objected, as he thought the two would he enough, and il was useless to add to tho expense. Mr, Moo was added to the commission. Mr. Hurnett moved to alrtke out the name of A. 8. I.atia, and insert the nnnie nf Samuel R. Hmwn; he nuso, he said. (ie thought it due to ihe parties charged Hint one ol the commission should ho a Whig. Ho moved to strike ftiit the name uf Mr. I.attn, necnuse he did not seem to have llm full confidence of Ins own pnrly, as exprest-d in the Limn Argus. iMessrs. lay lor ami niungen umn saiti ine ooecuon to Mr. Lnt la wilh Ihe Lima Argus came from personal liiuue. Mr. Kiddie snid lie would like to kiiow u Air. i. dta hnd been know n l have taken sides, or expressed nn opinion on tho subject.

It was not observed when the Whigs look his fiend oil. in the same l.nnil t mice. Mr. Crndlehnuuh'md ho whs inclined to support Mr. Hurneii'i motioni nnd as to ihe taking IV the heads of the ollieers of tho Land Office, he did not think that iho invesiigiiiou was lor that, as their heads would be taken oil', he supposed, wilboutmiinvesiignlion. There wns a bill now pending lor Dial purpose, i ne inves tigation would answer hereafter to keep ihe Democrats who would be appointed to fill ihe olhce.

Mr. nubile supported tno niipniniment i a i lug. Mr. Covey said he did hope lhat ihe Semite would not place ilsell in the unlavurablo altitude of refusing the Whigs the poor boon of having one uf their friends on tins commission. Tho subject was then referred to a select commiltee ol Ihree.

Mr. Moore's resolutions relating to ihe basis uf hank tiixmion was taken up; w hen-Mr. I'eppurd remarked that Ibis subject had exciled some controversy, and as ho di tiered with some of the views ollered yesterday, he would oiler some also. It had been binled thai the course ol Democrats wni to destroy tho banks covertly by this hill. If he thought it would do so, or do anything covertly that we were not prepared to do upeuly, be would vote against it. He had no hostility lo the banks merely as business eslnbiishmenis ; but lie had a feeling ot opposition u hanking us a principle. He noticed the lormer man ner of taxing bunks, und remarked that the conntilu lion provided a now mode of doing so. The qiieslinn men wns, does ibis bill provide for taxing them equal ly wilh oilier property I Ho then reviewed tho provi sions of the bill and tliepioposfd instructions ol this resolution. Ho illustrated by bhowing the sources of pro: it to banks, und urgued ihetice lhat these should form n p u t ol ihe assessment ol bunks.

As iho constitution required all property employed in bmiking lo he laxed, so he thought ihe deposits llm employed should be taxed.

The resolution of Mr. More being still before the Senale, Mr. Ferguson said he did not regard lliis question as one of expediency in any manner.

Mr. weiicroppoHeillheiiioliou. It was ollered only to weigh down mid kill the bill. Mr. Mungeii thought the bill might os well die that way ns any. D convoyed lo many smull elites provi sion which they nevi r asked for, ami which they did not want. Iho bill wan designed Inr Cincinnati only, mid be did hoi wuui it i ussed un others without their C.iienl. Mr. Welh r said the bill onlv grunted to cities the privilege of choosing their ow n ollieem, instead ot having them nppointed by ihe Cdy Council. It wus a ucmocratic b aiure, and Hie people did want it. lir, Mieiiaiturger said Hie bill purporbd lobe design-d only for cilies. but ncluallv did reach vill.-neH nod boroughs. It then fore amended the churtersof all the Hits, villages, Sc., in Ihe Stale, and ought, therefore. according to the constitution, recite and repeal the Bociions amended. As to the Democratic features of ihe bill, making till iho n (beers elected by bill, it took nway Irom Ihe voteis of Cincinnati the privilege of eiiosii.g uieir own n uiciimeii, mid conierred it on the Mayor. Mr. Stone urged the wanlsof Cincinnati, and third there of such a law as this. Hiiheriu the Widehmeu of that city hud been chosen bv the ueunle. and Iho consequence wus they neglected their duly, and electioneered for reelection. This hill placed the power of appointing Watchmen in Ihe hands of Ihe .Mayor, and he could hold the Watchmen to their duty. Everybody knew the necessity of a more ctlicient no lice in Cincinnati, nud the only way lo obtain it was In make the Watchmen dependent upon one man, who w resjHMimuitJ lor uioir COIUIIICI, umi who could iliscmirge Uieni II unlailhlul.

He did not believe tho constitution prohibited special laws re-speciing cities nnd municipal corporations. As tn the imputation of wrong motives, he should have to eon. sider the source, lie maintained thai the constitution lid not require such a mode of h-gmhtiioii. but ihe Leir- islature had decided it hud. Mr. Menus replied lhat ihe cnnsliliitinti did nrtio.llv pr ivide that all cilies and incorHiralcd towns should be organized by general laws. Hul different laws were necessary for different cities, and iherefore ihe only way wim torlursify ihem, and provide for idem rornmgiy. Mr. Morgan's amendment wus lost.

The Semite occupied inosi of the day, Monday, in lifleussiiig the amendment to the tux hill. A new bill to prefcrihe tho duties of Judges, &c, wus introduced. I his brings up somo things that were forgolton in the former bill. The bill to prescribe the manner of organizing ihe Legislature, was also introduced. Mr. Covky gave nolico of a bill to repeal Noble counly. The House bill in turnout two Whigs and put in one Lncufncu at ihe Defiance Land Olliee, was ordered to he engrossed. Of course it will pass. i he House spent most of the day un a bill to pre scribe the manner of not ding claims lor property ta ken uy corporation lor their use. The principal dispute was, who should pay the cos is in liiigated cases, the commiiiee agreed upon nothing definite, nnd it is open for discussion ut another lime. A number of bills were in a state of progress, when tlioy ought to have been ready for reading u third time, but they wore all incomplete, unfinished, und required to be refi ned ugaiti to committees, and Ihey wero re lerred. The House ran full lilt on a consiitutiunnl snag, which brought ihem up all Hamlin on a small bill. It could not be passed without incorporating a long law passed some days since. 8o. tho law makers hauled up and have concludul tn consider the subject. In the Senate un Tuesday, the day was occupied in discussing iho tax bill. Mr. Moobk and Mr. Siikrshn poke at some length in opposition to some of its feu lures. Wo did not In ar their speeches, hut learn thev spoke with decided ability. The Senale, after hearing of the dealli of (b.v. Mohhow, passed the roiohiliotm winch are in.ticcd in another column. In the House, an attempt was mnde to pass the cor poration bill, but Ion many members were absent, and after getting u call nf the House, &,c, only about forty votes could he got fur il. So it was lost, but it was moved to reconsider Ibis vote, and this nndion was laid on the table. It is now hung up to dry, and when it will be cut down and acted upon again, rerna:ns to be seen. A bill allowing appeals in jury cases, from the Com mon Plena to (be District Cntirls, was, alter much tribu- utlon, (being once lost ) passed . Tho proceedings in relation lo ihe demh uf Guy MoRnow, closed the work nf tho day. In ihe Senate Wednesday, ihe principal ilem of in- lercst was Ihe diccussion on the bank luxation resolutions. Severn) speeches were made, for tho Buhstuiice of whirli see debates. After a lone, hutd light, Mr. CovkVs resolution was adopted. This provides that the basis for bank tnxa- lion shall he the uiiiniint of capital stock paid in, less m per cent., nnd the circulation and surplus fund nctti- ally employed in bunking. I'hs is much more reason-hie ihnu the hill as reported by ihe commiiiee, and on this account it met n very stormy nud deteimined opposition, nnd only passed by a vote of 14 to 13. Whether it will finally gel through the Senate in this shape is very doubtful, and it is still more doubtful whether it will ever get ihmugh the House But nous perrons! T.ie new Senate salary hill was consider-d in the Senate commiiiee of the W hole. The commiltee de-cided to givo the (iovernnr f2,0n0, Lieutenant Gover nor Jl, 800, Auditor tp 1,000, Treasurer iM,a0D. Secretary of Slate $,.10O, Attorney General 1,.'.00, and members of the Hoard of Public Works $1,500. Fmm latedem- instiaiions, we think ihe House will knock the big lumps nut of that bill when it goes to them. MORE SPECIAL LEGISLATION CONSTITUTION YET "IN THE HANDS OF ITS FRIENDS." The Democrulic Legislulure of Ohio has been busily employed for some weeks past, in trying to get up n law Tor ihe regulation ami government of all cities and towns tu Ohio. They have worked It over, referred il to cnmniiileesiitid pulled it about in bolh Houses, till they have ultuost knocked Ihe breath of lile out uf it. viiicinuuii, uavmg nireauy null ihe tienelil of ona gene ral law, wns very desirous lhat the other law should be passed before the spring elections in that city are lo take place. Ami the uther cities were desirous uf organizing under the great universal law that was to wrvmle our State. Hul these Democrats cannot, or do nut ii g ree, and ihongb there is considerable snid, hul very little is done by way of putting through the bill. Finally, after many iuetl'uctiial uflbrts to do something, Iho Legislature has concluded lhat it is too late to pass ihe bill so us to bo put in operation this spring, and thai they will fix up another "general taw" for the spe cial use of Cincinnati. Something after the model of the Inst one. So, on Monday, it was stated in the House lhat a general bill, containing a few clauses to npply tn alt cities having over litty thousand Inhabitants. would be passed. This hits no city except Cincin nati, nnd is designed to hit no other place. It u now understood lhat the general law for all places with lets than .rt0,000 inhabitants will not be passed in season for these smaller places lo organize under its provisions. Hu Columbus, and Cleveland, ami Dayton, and Zunes-ville, &c.t will probably go ahead as they are, for Ihe present. General lavs for the benefit of Cincinnati are getting common. Well, perhaps that city needs ihem us much as any place in the Slate. Hut it is one of the niniuing things nl Ihe day to us, outsiders, w ho have have not leurned lha way of whip ping llio d 1 around the hush, t. notice tho manner of passing gmeral Inics for special purposes. We repeat what we have snid before, llmt Ibis oeratiou has a plain, direct, and inevitable tendency to induce a prac tical disregard of a law, and all constitutional restric limit. Indeed, the entire course ol the presi nt Legis lature on the priuling question; nn llicso general lavs lor the special use uf Cincinnati, mid similar operations, hns hnd Ibis demoralizing client. What will the rnnn in the country cum for your laws, if he sees the very men w ho have been elected to make them, treat them with such levity, and use such thin gauze argument and pretexts, to evade mid practically nullify Ihe pro. visions oi the now constitution T Probably iho men who am engaged )n tins work think they are sharp nnd keen, in thus evading and gotting round a positive general command. Hut ihey know, or if ihey do not, Ihu mass ul iho people kliow, that they deliberately violate iho spirit nud design ol Ihe constitution, if they ilo not run counter tn its very letter. And what ennfi- ilence can we, can the people have, in men who habit ually violate what is known to he tho design and intention ol Ihe framers of our constitution f We speak our serious convictions when we say that these things nm demoralizing destructive to that high tone of re spect and regard lor Mm, which is the great bulwark n our free government, and thn want of which ia the lending characteristic of the French people nt this lime. It may be well enough tn pause, nnd think of the phi- osopby of lliese things, before we go much further in this downward course. NEIL H0nSE-A CHANQE, Win nk, for several years tho very popular nnd rejected host of tho Neil House, is about lo leuvo, to give place lo n not her, Col.

In purling with friend Winnk, none rnn regret it more than we do, for in all the mini tons of life, either as landlord or private citi zen, we find helms fully sustained the reputation of the accommodating host, social nnd honest man.

On the occasion uf copying an article fmm the Portt' mouth Tribune, on the subject of ihe recent order of iho Hoard ol Public Works, in relation to railroad bridges, the Statesman goes on in its usual haphazard style, to charge the late Whig Board of Public Works with having sold themselves to railroad companies, and instances two of the members of the Board being employed as engineers on railroads ; nud says, further, that, "Had the present Board sold themselves to the railroads as their predecessors did, and taken pay on both sides, to the neglect of the State's interest and filching the people's property, then we should have heard nothing of this clamor." To the latter part of this delectable piece of non sense, we will only say that until the members of the present Board shall give evidence of any qualifications for locating and constructing railroads, or for any duty whatever pertaiuingtn the profession of civil engineering, the publir need be under no apprehensions that there will be any demand upon them, among intelligent ran road companies, for profettional services. But, again The present Board not only reduced the rates, but increased the revenue over former years very largely, to the surprise of everybody." We had before supposed that tolls and revenues meant the same thing; if so, how they were reduced and increased at the same time, we are at a loss to know. Bur, we suppose ihe Statesman means that they reduced the rates of loll and therefore, that ho alludes to the rates published iu the toll sheet of 18'.1. Now who does not know that the only Whig member uf the Hoard at the time of the publication of lhat sheet was tho oldest member or the Hoard, and was relied on by the oilier members, (one Freo Soil and the other Democrat,) in all matters per taining to the public works in this matter of tolls, almost exclusively ; and that it is to that Whig member that the public aro indebted for tho increase of the cuiial revenues, if to low tolls alone that increase is to be attributed. It is, however, the veriest nonsense to ascribe to low tolls alone the increase of revenue ; but to the supreme abundance of ihe staple products of the tl, as compared with the last previous years. The present Board, it must be admitted, will he entitled lo the full credit lor the results of the year's business. When these are known, we shall he ready and willing to give ihem the benefit of their labors. There is no desire to injure railroads on the part of any one, and where bridges nro built so as not to obstruct the canals, tie complaint is made. Indeed ! Why, we supposed the order of the Board was general requiring all railroad bridges to be la-ken down. Then you have probably been instructed by the Board to commence easing off a liltle tu let ihem down by degrees, lest the indignation of the people at this autocratic order might make the tumble ton severe. We hope, in some future number of the Statesman, we may be relieved alio in regard to iho wishes of the Hoard to bnve railroads placed subject to the depreda tions of the lawless, to the eminent hazard of life to all lha traveling public. Perhaps the Board mean only to expose ihose railroads who have dared to car ry Ireight at lower rates than ihe canals alongside. We hope, too, that ihe public may be enlightened in regard tn which of Ihe railroad bridges crossing canals must bo taken down, and which remain, and whether railroad bridges nmy yet he permitted to cross the ca nals provided they build such bridges as may be re quired by ihe Hoard of Public Works. We should like to know how many bridges, and where they are located, authorized by the Whig Board of Public Work, and whether any such are ton ml to be obstruc tions to navigation. A mere simple statement of the editor of the Statesman will not do. He must gives us c pies of the orders or permits of the Whig Board, or some member thereof. Tho truth is, all these public improvements benefit tin whole people, and are entitled lo the fostering care i)f llio General Ass-mhly. Nor can we conceive that there is any real necessity for this war among rival in-loresis They nro cutting each other's throats, for the want of proper forbearance and interchange of intelli gent observation and reflection. ANECDOTE OF GOV. MORROW. A biend at our elbow relates the following incident iu tbo life of Gov, Morrow, which probably confers as high an eulegium nn his private chnrncier and pub lic wo rlli ns anything that has been snid: Disciituig ihe chatacter of Gov. Morrow wilh Judge Por. of Illinois, some lime in 1825 or '2(1, when Judge Porx was uu a visit to our capital be then said, in general terms, thai Gov. Morrow was ihe most influential member of Congress of his day lhat on the subject of the public lnnds he knew more than ihe I resident and his cabinet, and all Congress besides, nnd that while tue Governor was Chairman of the com miiiee oil Public Lands, and he (Judge Pope) was a member of Congress from lha West, and feeling alike with Air. MonRow ft deep interest Hi all legislation on the subject of this geat national domain, nud feeling, too, that he had a right to originate or advocuie measures equal to any other member, be nevertheless soon found that it was useless to atiempt to present his own viows if these did not agre with those of the Chair main of the committee. He, therefore, made it his rule, on all occasions of a dwiro to introduce a measure relating lo piAdic lands, lirst to consult Mr. Morrow, and never failed to succeed il approved by him. Hut when, subsequently. Gov. Mohhow entered Ihe Sen ale, and Gov. KnWARDs was alv in Ihe Senate from the Slale of Illinois, tbo latter gen'leniau felt disposed to allure ihe honors of legislating lor the publio land against the advice of Judge Purr, who strenuously urged upon him Hie i.eceasity ol coustiltlug Gov. Morrow, Ihe again Chairman of the committee on Public Lands iu the Senate, Mr. Edwards cIimb to present his views in opposition to Guv. Mohhow, in debate. Judge Porx went to ihe Senate Chamber where Gov. Morrow's report was to be rend, expecting to see fun, ai he termed it. He noticed that Senator generally were reading newspapers while Mohrow's report was in progress ut rending. One prominent Senator looked up and inquired what wns rending. He was answered by another, it was " old Jcrrt s laid report." "All's right, then," answered the inquirer, and procoeded with the reading of his newspaper. Gov. Bpwahus was probably the only attentive lisien- er, and the moment tho reading of the report was closed he commenced an attack uHin the report. This colled at once the attention of every Senator present, and all I reined tn look wilh astonishment upon the new Senator, and with wonder at the temerity of him who would darn in niiack " old Jrrrt's " report. No sooner hud Mr. KnwAitns closed than there sprung lo iheii feet more lhan a dozen uf the most prominent Senators, prepared to defend to the dealh both Jkri-miaii Morrow and his report; and, continued Judge Poi-a, Mr. Knwaiths soon I earned ihe posh ion they relatively occupied in the Sen a to of the Uniied Stales, and ever afterward governed himself accordingly.

Mr. I'flrdeu moved to strikeout tho exemption of 1 200 worth of personal properly, in the Imiulsof eveiy lax payor. Ho snid he thought a man worth more than thai amount did not need tlin exemption, and if that wits all ho hiidlhetfix would ho so ainnll us lint to ho seriously felt, He would exempt schools tind churches, hut not individuals. Mr. Kiddle opposed this motion, on tho score of assisting mill encouraging the young mid ihe poor, especially females. Mr. Rico took the hii mo position, nnd backed it up with a good substantial argmnctilf mid to meet tho case lie would move to exempt $200 worlh in I lie hands of such as hud not more than SjVdlO worth. Mr. Hill objected to Mr. Hire's amendment because it presented the poor in an n an object of charity. Mr. Ferguson supported tho original exemption in the hill. . Mr. Rieo withdrew his amendment.

The question being on Mr. llurnett's resolution uf ilHlrnclioiis Mr. Mitogen opposed it on ihe ground that these facilities fur paying the taxes favored the non-resident, and operated upiiusi Iho stile of wild lands. Mr. Taylor supported tho same podtion. Mr. Wnlkup Hpoke in favor of Mr. Iturnott'n instruc-lioosThe insinictioui wore then lost yeas ll.imy M.

This was lost by a large majority niter a long discussion. Wiiiiout concluding, the committee rose nnd asked leave lo sit again.

The House then adjourned. Wc4iiliiy, March tltl, 1832. IN HRNATK. 9. o'clock, A. M. The Finance committee repnrled back the tnx hill, with a few amendments, which wero mostly concur red in. Mr. Moore moved that the bill be recommitted, lhat his resolution of instruction, offered jesterdny, bo taken up. Agreed to. Mr. Moore spoke at leiiplh in sunnortor this ivsolo. thin and exihihiled in a very able mam. or what would properly constitute the property of hanks, intended to be taxed under a constitution which proposes to tax banks equally He sought to show the distinction between property and businofs credit, ihe latter of which he contended should not he taxed. This was Mr. Moore's first effort, mid it was well received, as nuirk- d with much rosea rch and evincimr a hiidi order of tab-tit. Ho spoke over an hour, nnd wo must rely upon Ids own report. The Senate then took a recess. 24 o'clock, P. M. The following resolution of instructions beiiiB before l ie Sonale Retolved, That ihe President of every Hanking Com pany, slmll make out nnd deliver to ihe County Audi- ;r, in 1110 inonin 01 At ay, tno amount ttr notes and ilU discounted or purchased: nionevs loaned, nnd other properly, effects or dues of such Hank or Hanking Company, equal to tho ngsregate amount of ihe capital stock of snid Hnnknr Hanking Company, nl its true value in money, and the average amount of ihe surplus nnd contingent fund, nnd of individual profits, (not in- eiiiueu 111 smu surplus ut cniuiiigetit luiul.J during Hie preceding year Mr. Walk up moved to add Ihe following tn Mr. Moore's resolution of instructions; which Mr. M. accepted : 'mvideil that the amount of noted and bills din. counted or purchased, moneys leaned nnd other nro. perly, effects unities ot such Hank or Hanking Company, shall in no cmo he less than iho amount id' the capital stock paid in. Mr. Sherman here remarked that ho did nut wui t. Ilimw any obstacle in the way of the passage of thin tax bill. Ho said he would like to concur with the other members nf the committee on Fiimiu e; hut as each must answer to hi constiiiicnis, it was but pro ier that no slioiild give his views. Ho could not ex- nect aperient bill which would tax all equally; and lie appreciated lite dilln uliy unending it. He instanced many defects: hut the nriiiciole of eoioiliiv h.il been sought by the committee, as to nil property except that of Hank. Hut, as a Democrat, he could not consent lo make iho Hunks tho scape-goat for all Ihe odious features of this bill. He had been reared a Democrat, and in 1U 10 had taken 11 stand against hanks. Hut we have banks, and wo nro accustomed to them And since we nro to have bank, ho did not want better or aafer than those established under tho laws of I Si:,. Ho (lid not Hunk the skil id man could devisn n heller or safer system than that. Hut Ihe question was not now whether wo should destroy banks. Tho constitution imposed no such duty upon us. It did not require us to lax ihoin out of ex- iHlooce. It only reouircd us to tnx them eiionllv with other properly. In the Convention the question was wnetiier Hie banks should pay six per cent, upon their prolils, or should they ho taxed as other property. It was not how run you frame a bill that will lax banks three or four limes more than other property. Ho said there must be something wrong in this bill. With a capital of a little over $7,RIMMI0, in hunks, this nil proposed to tnx them un over f-.M.OllO.OUO. Herein-ore banks have paid nboui oO.llllll. mid imw von on- poso lo tax them at one lull sweep over (200 0"l). He illustrated that tho bills and notes discounted are not the true measure of Iho properly of the banks, ns these often represent the deposits. flir. Atkinson said ihe bill did not tax a dollar of the posits. Mr. U. replied lhat in terms il did not. but wim not that the etfeclT He said eoualitv of luxation would lux iho iminy .! hills equal to circulation, less the amount uf the sum required to be kept in tho vaults. He differed from Ihe Senator from Scioto so far Hint he would tax ihe irnncliHcs of a bank on which Ihey realized lame prnlits. Mr. Monro nked him if the limit on the interest banks were allowed to charge, was not a reason for limiting the tnx on its Irauclnse. Mr. N. said he thought not ; and ho lliniijjht individ uals should be limited to six per cent. too. fie could but regurd the Irauchise of a hank as properly in the hands nf the bank : and widl tho nctit .1 eaiiitdl. less tho sum kept in the vaulls, he thought should he taxed. 'I he method proposed for taxing banks here, was L'alcuhitpil to crenlo nil iisoe before iho nennln in miii.li iiiu uniinn mill IM'' meins Ul mo Ul WOlllll III placed on tho side of principle, nnd this Lee ihi turn and the Democracy will be placed 011 the side of in ins ure, mm wrong, lie cited ttutt it hail been snid on this floor, thai tho City Hunk had been defrauded out of over 11 hundred ihoiisand dollars, Ihe wholoof which was in bills and notes dicounicd; and yet this bill ptoposed lo tax every tent of these worthless hillsaud notes without the least abate ment for ibejr roltenness Ho did not believe that it was the policy of the Do. mncrney In legislate for the destruction of the hanks. Hut il Hie lime did mine w lieu it was necessary lo lestmy them, let it he done in open day Huh', unh a fair, open legislation, and not by a sjsiein of anna. s illation.Mr. Sherman here gave way, nnd the resolution was Inid on the table, to give way to Mr. Kiddle, who said : Mr. President t 1 have iu.it heard of Ihn death of Ihe venerable Jeremiah Morrow. Il might ho more proper lor some other Senator tn announce iho fuel. Hut I have felt as it I cr.ild not resist the impulse to sneak of ihis Intly greHt bereavement of the Stale of Uliio. Iho history ol (mvernor Morrow is the hisiorv of ibis State.

The members wero here to nltend to the busi ness of the House, nnd Vet lumllv n bill i-ot.l.l bo passed without first being lost, and then reconsidered. I lohoped this priii-lieo would be discontinued, find let iho first vote decide thn fate of the hill. Mr. Hoiik. hotted thut llmt mlvice Mould tint hn fnt. lowed. He regretted tne practice referred to a- touch anybody, hut if the advice just given was followed, many important bills would be lost, and ibis hill among the number. This wns an important bill, and should ho passed. Mr. Colo said he would vole nitauist the reconsider- nlioii, ns he was opposed lo appeals in civil cases. Mr. Wind, of Warren, snid he should vole Hfiiinul Ihe jnolinn to reconsider. He wnsoppnxed loaipeals. lid therefore Opposed to thi bill. It un linnrcesmirv. and involved suitors in additional rusts. Again, us our courts wen w organized, this bill would burden mid break up Ihe judicial system of the Ntate. It placed an amount of labor on iho district, courts, which they ""' 01 periorm, ns the terms were now arranged. HesidoM an appeal was only all appeal Irom one jury to another, mid lhat miuhl be attained bv n new trial without anneal. I Mr. (lest thoiieht the motion oiiLdit to nasi.

As oiir laws now I, three trials could be le.d in ,.i tl... ri.,l.i id only one to get Ihe facts riidit. mid it was ns nee- ossary to ascertain the facts correctly ns to get law decidedly right. The common pleas hud but one judge, and unless this hill passed, ihe most imporlaut suits would be loft to his derision, mnde in ihe pressure of multifnrinus duti-s. As to gelling a new iriul before tho sumo judge, it was always a dilliciilt tiifk.

Mr. Covey objected, as he thought the two would he enough, and il was useless to add to tho expense. Mr, Moo was added to the commission. Mr. Hurnett moved to alrtke out the name of A. 8.

It was not observed when the Whigs look his fiend oil. in the same l.nnil t mice. Mr. Crndlehnuuh'md ho whs inclined to support Mr. Hurneii'i motioni nnd as to ihe taking IV the heads of the ollieers of tho Land Office, he did not think that iho invesiigiiiou was lor that, as their heads would be taken oil', he supposed, wilboutmiinvesiignlion. There wns a bill now pending lor Dial purpose, i ne inves tigation would answer hereafter to keep ihe Democrats who would be appointed to fill ihe olhce. Ho iiiff gesied that Iho vote, adding Mr. Moo name, be re considered, and be lelt out to place the name of Mr. Hmwn id his place, instead ol Hie place ol Mr, Lnlia, I lie vote to reconsider carrion, Tho nuestion then reenring on the name of Mr. Moo, Mr. Gillett urged Mr. Wilson to withdraw the name if Mr. Moo, nnd not place his Democratic Iriendi in ihe position of voting against mm isouio remarks were uinue againsi ino support nl a Whtg.Ae. Mr. nubile supported tno niipniniment i a i lug. Mr. Covey said he did hope lhat ihe Semite would not place ilsell in the unlavurablo altitude of refusing the Whigs the poor boon of having one uf their friends on tins commission. Tho subject was then referred to a select commiltee ol Ihree. The bill lo abolish the efhee of Register and Receiver, or tocut oil' the heads ot the Whig otlicers of the e fiance Laud Olbce, was rend ihe third time and passed vous 18. tinvs 5 Hurnett.

Mr. Mnngon ollered a joint resolution providing for milking new deeds in place of those destroyed by the burning of ihe Delinnce Laud Olliee; which was refer red to the Jttiliciury coiiiiuiuee. Mr. Hire, from the committee on Corporations, re ported back a hill empowering county commissioner to peiliirm certain acts, wun stuuiiy nmeuiiuieius ; w hich were laid on he table to be prinhd. Mr. Moore's resolutions relating to ihe basis uf hank tiixmion was taken up; w hen-Mr. I'eppurd remarked that Ibis subject had exciled some controversy, and as ho di tiered with some of the views ollered yesterday, he would oiler some also. It had been binled thai the course ol Democrats wni to destroy tho banks covertly by this hill. If he thought it would do so, or do anything covertly that we were not prepared to do upeuly, be would vote against it. He had no hostility lo the banks merely as business eslnbiishmenis ; but lie had a feeling ot opposition u hanking us a principle. He noticed the lormer man ner of taxing bunks, und remarked that the conntilu lion provided a now mode of doing so. The qiieslinn men wns, does ibis bill provide for taxing them equal ly wilh oilier property I Ho then reviewed tho provi sions of the bill and tliepioposfd instructions ol this resolution. Ho illustrated by bhowing the sources of pro: it to banks, und urgued ihetice lhat these should form n p u t ol ihe assessment ol bunks. Ho thought there was a llHlinctiou between the privileges nnd iinmniiines ol banks und those of individuals, ihe law conferring n fictitious value upon the Holes of hmdis w hich it denied io iiiuiviiiuaifti ami inis luvorunle legislation gue ine credit of banks n properly value which be conceived was properly sublet to taxation, v hen ihe notes oi hanks were tnude by tho law tMiunl to money, mid thence property, he would auk, might not lliis propei ty to bear nu equal burden with all other property! il a prolit Wiis derived from the Irauchise or credit of the banks, it was justly subject to taxation, He would regulate the tax upon this franchise which serves us property, according lo its value by increase or decrease in property. As iho constitution required all property employed in bmiking lo he laxed, so he thought ihe deposits llm employed should be taxed. He reform! to the figure of Samtwou pulling down the temple upon his own bend, which hud been used. Me supposed these worshippers ol Uagon lie believ ed Dagonaud Mammon were somewhat alike thought that the young Sampson was blind; but it would be cecii his eyes were open, and ho was wide nwake. tiesntdll had been wild that this taxing would take the " heart's blood " nf ilu -K nka. Whoever heard that a bank hnd heart's blood, or a hear! 7 He thought it would he side to Inx hanks to the full amount, indi cated ; and thai the dnv of their winding up would be lounu to amount to nolhing lie said ho was willing to risk tho young Sampson, and would remind his friends thai it was when Sump-son laid his head in the lap of Dclila, and only then, lied he lost his strength. Ho would tax bonks equally with oilier property, and thn do justice. l he tt-nato look a recess. 24 o'clock, P. AT. The resolution of Mr. More being still before the Senale, Mr. Ferguson said he did not regard lliis question as one of expediency in any manner. It wan simply whether we shall be guided by the colt-dilution. That instrument prescribed in plain lerms what we wero to do in ibis case. We were to tax banks equally ns prop riy uf oilier individuals. Tho credit of banks bud been said lo bo moonshine. Lei it be nioonbine; if it wns profitable to the hulikn m would tuX it. 1 IPMuto wns Iheli taken on Mr. Moore s resolution of instruction, which was lost yeas, Messrs. Fudge, Ilibben, Monro, Hurnett, C-.x, Covey and Wnlkup 7; and Hi nays. Mr. Covey then ollered Ihe following, on the pari ol Mr. Sherman, who wiih absent: Resolved, That the Finance commiltee be instructed to so amend Ihe 20th section as to provide for taxing so much of the notes and bills discounted or purchased of all banks or banking companies as shall be equal to die nggregulo amount of tho capiial slock paid in of such banks or banking companies, nnd Iho average nmoiiiit of Him circulation, lo ihuty per cent., ot such banks or banking companies, and also the average amount of the contingent fund nnd individed profits, mid all moneys loaned nf such bunk or banking companies, nut included or eml rnced in any of the aforesaid hems. Mr. Covev remarked noon this, that the eiorrrtuHed in banking could he nothing but Ihe capital stock paid in nud the notes furnished them by the Hoard of Con trol. or Stato Auditor, for circulation. The deposits could not be properly subjected to taxation, any more Ihmi n borrowed horse should be taxed in the bands of the borrower, when Ihu owner had paid the tax him- nop. i nose iieposits are taxed in Iho tiutnls ol Hie lepoiitors.

Mr. weiicroppoHeillheiiioliou. It was ollered only to weigh down mid kill the bill. Mr. Mungeii thought the bill might os well die that way ns any. D convoyed lo many smull elites provi sion which they nevi r asked for, ami which they did not want. Iho bill wan designed Inr Cincinnati only, mid be did hoi wuui it i ussed un others without their C.iienl. Mr. Welh r said the bill onlv grunted to cities the privilege of choosing their ow n ollieem, instead ot having them nppointed by ihe Cdy Council. It wus a ucmocratic b aiure, and Hie people did want it. lir, Mieiiaiturger said Hie bill purporbd lobe design-d only for cilies. but ncluallv did reach vill.-neH nod boroughs. It then fore amended the churtersof all the Hits, villages, Sc., in Ihe Stale, and ought, therefore. according to the constitution, recite and repeal the Bociions amended. As to the Democratic features of ihe bill, making till iho n (beers elected by bill, it took nway Irom Ihe voteis of Cincinnati the privilege of eiiosii.g uieir own n uiciimeii, mid conierred it on the Mayor. Mr. Stone urged the wanlsof Cincinnati, and third there of such a law as this. Hiiheriu the Widehmeu of that city hud been chosen bv the ueunle. and Iho consequence wus they neglected their duly, and electioneered for reelection. This hill placed the power of appointing Watchmen in Ihe hands of Ihe .Mayor, and he could hold the Watchmen to their duty. Everybody knew the necessity of a more ctlicient no lice in Cincinnati, nud the only way lo obtain it was In make the Watchmen dependent upon one man, who w resjHMimuitJ lor uioir COIUIIICI, umi who could iliscmirge Uieni II unlailhlul. Mr. Morgan moved In exempt ihe t-iiv of Zanesvillo from Iho provisions of this bill. . Mr. Menus opposed ihe amendment, ami vh dimt.-d I the uniform character of the bill. It operated uniform i V on cilies of a certain character and n,e.

He did not believe tho constitution prohibited special laws re-speciing cities nnd municipal corporations. As tn the imputation of wrong motives, he should have to eon. sider the source, lie maintained thai the constitution lid not require such a mode of h-gmhtiioii. but ihe Leir- islature had decided it hud. Mr. Menus replied lhat ihe cnnsliliitinti did nrtio.llv pr ivide that all cilies and incorHiralcd towns should be organized by general laws. Hul different laws were necessary for different cities, and iherefore ihe only way wim torlursify ihem, and provide for idem rornmgiy. Mr. Morgan's amendment wus lost. Mr. Ly lie rcgrt-llfd that Ihe limit passage uf the bill should be embarrassed by any amendments that had been appended Hi il.

The Semite occupied inosi of the day, Monday, in lifleussiiig the amendment to the tux hill. A new bill to prefcrihe tho duties of Judges, &c, wus introduced. I his brings up somo things that were forgolton in the former bill. The bill to prescribe the manner of organizing ihe Legislature, was also introduced. Mr. Covky gave nolico of a bill to repeal Noble counly. The House bill in turnout two Whigs and put in one Lncufncu at ihe Defiance Land Olliee, was ordered to he engrossed. Of course it will pass. i he House spent most of the day un a bill to pre scribe the manner of not ding claims lor property ta ken uy corporation lor their use. The principal dispute was, who should pay the cos is in liiigated cases, the commiiiee agreed upon nothing definite, nnd it is open for discussion ut another lime. A number of bills were in a state of progress, when tlioy ought to have been ready for reading u third time, but they wore all incomplete, unfinished, und required to be refi ned ugaiti to committees, and Ihey wero re lerred. The House ran full lilt on a consiitutiunnl snag, which brought ihem up all Hamlin on a small bill. It could not be passed without incorporating a long law passed some days since. 8o. tho law makers hauled up and have concludul tn consider the subject. In the Senate un Tuesday, the day was occupied in discussing iho tax bill. Mr. Moobk and Mr. Siikrshn poke at some length in opposition to some of its feu lures. Wo did not In ar their speeches, hut learn thev spoke with decided ability. The Senale, after hearing of the dealli of (b.v. Mohhow, passed the roiohiliotm winch are in.ticcd in another column. In the House, an attempt was mnde to pass the cor poration bill, but Ion many members were absent, and after getting u call nf the House, &,c, only about forty votes could he got fur il. So it was lost, but it was moved to reconsider Ibis vote, and this nndion was laid on the table. It is now hung up to dry, and when it will be cut down and acted upon again, rerna:ns to be seen. A bill allowing appeals in jury cases, from the Com mon Plena to (be District Cntirls, was, alter much tribu- utlon, (being once lost ) passed . Tho proceedings in relation lo ihe demh uf Guy MoRnow, closed the work nf tho day. In ihe Senate Wednesday, ihe principal ilem of in- lercst was Ihe diccussion on the bank luxation resolutions. Severn) speeches were made, for tho Buhstuiice of whirli see debates. After a lone, hutd light, Mr. CovkVs resolution was adopted. This provides that the basis for bank tnxa- lion shall he the uiiiniint of capital stock paid in, less m per cent., nnd the circulation and surplus fund nctti- ally employed in bunking. I'hs is much more reason-hie ihnu the hill as reported by ihe commiiiee, and on this account it met n very stormy nud deteimined opposition, nnd only passed by a vote of 14 to 13. Whether it will finally gel through the Senate in this shape is very doubtful, and it is still more doubtful whether it will ever get ihmugh the House But nous perrons! T.ie new Senate salary hill was consider-d in the Senate commiiiee of the W hole. The commiltee de-cided to givo the (iovernnr f2,0n0, Lieutenant Gover nor Jl, 800, Auditor tp 1,000, Treasurer iM,a0D. Secretary of Slate $,.10O, Attorney General 1,.'.00, and members of the Hoard of Public Works $1,500. Fmm latedem- instiaiions, we think ihe House will knock the big lumps nut of that bill when it goes to them. MORE SPECIAL LEGISLATION CONSTITUTION YET "IN THE HANDS OF ITS FRIENDS." The Democrulic Legislulure of Ohio has been busily employed for some weeks past, in trying to get up n law Tor ihe regulation ami government of all cities and towns tu Ohio. They have worked It over, referred il to cnmniiileesiitid pulled it about in bolh Houses, till they have ultuost knocked Ihe breath of lile out uf it. viiicinuuii, uavmg nireauy null ihe tienelil of ona gene ral law, wns very desirous lhat the other law should be passed before the spring elections in that city are lo take place. Ami the uther cities were desirous uf organizing under the great universal law that was to wrvmle our State. Hul these Democrats cannot, or do nut ii g ree, and ihongb there is considerable snid, hul very little is done by way of putting through the bill. Finally, after many iuetl'uctiial uflbrts to do something, Iho Legislature has concluded lhat it is too late to pass ihe bill so us to bo put in operation this spring, and thai they will fix up another "general taw" for the spe cial use of Cincinnati. Something after the model of the Inst one. So, on Monday, it was stated in the House lhat a general bill, containing a few clauses to npply tn alt cities having over litty thousand Inhabitants. would be passed. This hits no city except Cincin nati, nnd is designed to hit no other place. It u now understood lhat the general law for all places with lets than .rt0,000 inhabitants will not be passed in season for these smaller places lo organize under its provisions. Hu Columbus, and Cleveland, ami Dayton, and Zunes-ville, &c.t will probably go ahead as they are, for Ihe present. General lavs for the benefit of Cincinnati are getting common. Well, perhaps that city needs ihem us much as any place in the Slate. Hut it is one of the niniuing things nl Ihe day to us, outsiders, w ho have have not leurned lha way of whip ping llio d 1 around the hush, t. notice tho manner of passing gmeral Inics for special purposes. We repeat what we have snid before, llmt Ibis oeratiou has a plain, direct, and inevitable tendency to induce a prac tical disregard of a law, and all constitutional restric limit. Indeed, the entire course ol the presi nt Legis lature on the priuling question; nn llicso general lavs lor the special use uf Cincinnati, mid similar operations, hns hnd Ibis demoralizing client. What will the rnnn in the country cum for your laws, if he sees the very men w ho have been elected to make them, treat them with such levity, and use such thin gauze argument and pretexts, to evade mid practically nullify Ihe pro. visions oi the now constitution T Probably iho men who am engaged )n tins work think they are sharp nnd keen, in thus evading and gotting round a positive general command. Hut ihey know, or if ihey do not, Ihu mass ul iho people kliow, that they deliberately violate iho spirit nud design ol Ihe constitution, if they ilo not run counter tn its very letter. And what ennfi- ilence can we, can the people have, in men who habit ually violate what is known to he tho design and intention ol Ihe framers of our constitution f We speak our serious convictions when we say that these things nm demoralizing destructive to that high tone of re spect and regard lor Mm, which is the great bulwark n our free government, and thn want of which ia the lending characteristic of the French people nt this lime. It may be well enough tn pause, nnd think of the phi- osopby of lliese things, before we go much further in this downward course. NEIL H0nSE-A CHANQE, Win nk, for several years tho very popular nnd rejected host of tho Neil House, is about lo leuvo, to give place lo n not her, Col. Hahnky, of Crhana, who. wo learn, takes charge on ihe 1st uf April. The " Nun.," we are pleased to learn, will lose nothing in passing into Ihe hands of Col. It., for he has a high re putation as a landlord, ami I thoroughly acquainted with every thing that pertains to iho keeping of a good house und he will do it. In purling with friend Winnk, none rnn regret it more than we do, for in all the mini tons of life, either as landlord or private citi zen, we find helms fully sustained the reputation of the accommodating host, social nnd honest man. We bid him God speed iu any vocation he mnv bouanued hereatler at the same time we speak for his succes sor a generous welcome on the pari ol our anions aud tue traveling public. COMING DOWN. On the occasion uf copying an article fmm the Portt' mouth Tribune, on the subject of ihe recent order of iho Hoard ol Public Works, in relation to railroad bridges, the Statesman goes on in its usual haphazard style, to charge the late Whig Board of Public Works with having sold themselves to railroad companies, and instances two of the members of the Board being employed as engineers on railroads ; nud says, further, that, "Had the present Board sold themselves to the railroads as their predecessors did, and taken pay on both sides, to the neglect of the State's interest and filching the people's property, then we should have heard nothing of this clamor." To the latter part of this delectable piece of non sense, we will only say that until the members of the present Board shall give evidence of any qualifications for locating and constructing railroads, or for any duty whatever pertaiuingtn the profession of civil engineering, the publir need be under no apprehensions that there will be any demand upon them, among intelligent ran road companies, for profettional services. But, again The present Board not only reduced the rates, but increased the revenue over former years very largely, to the surprise of everybody." We had before supposed that tolls and revenues meant the same thing; if so, how they were reduced and increased at the same time, we are at a loss to know. Bur, we suppose ihe Statesman means that they reduced the rates of loll and therefore, that ho alludes to the rates published iu the toll sheet of 18'.1. Now who does not know that the only Whig member uf the Hoard at the time of the publication of lhat sheet was tho oldest member or the Hoard, and was relied on by the oilier members, (one Freo Soil and the other Democrat,) in all matters per taining to the public works in this matter of tolls, almost exclusively ; and that it is to that Whig member that the public aro indebted for tho increase of the cuiial revenues, if to low tolls alone that increase is to be attributed. It is, however, the veriest nonsense to ascribe to low tolls alone the increase of revenue ; but to the supreme abundance of ihe staple products of the tl, as compared with the last previous years. The present Board, it must be admitted, will he entitled lo the full credit lor the results of the year's business. When these are known, we shall he ready and willing to give ihem the benefit of their labors. There is no desire to injure railroads on the part of any one, and where bridges nro built so as not to obstruct the canals, tie complaint is made. Indeed ! Why, we supposed the order of the Board was general requiring all railroad bridges to be la-ken down. Then you have probably been instructed by the Board to commence easing off a liltle tu let ihem down by degrees, lest the indignation of the people at this autocratic order might make the tumble ton severe. We hope, in some future number of the Statesman, we may be relieved alio in regard to iho wishes of the Hoard to bnve railroads placed subject to the depreda tions of the lawless, to the eminent hazard of life to all lha traveling public. Perhaps the Board mean only to expose ihose railroads who have dared to car ry Ireight at lower rates than ihe canals alongside. We hope, too, that ihe public may be enlightened in regard tn which of Ihe railroad bridges crossing canals must bo taken down, and which remain, and whether railroad bridges nmy yet he permitted to cross the ca nals provided they build such bridges as may be re quired by ihe Hoard of Public Works. We should like to know how many bridges, and where they are located, authorized by the Whig Board of Public Work, and whether any such are ton ml to be obstruc tions to navigation. A mere simple statement of the editor of the Statesman will not do. He must gives us c pies of the orders or permits of the Whig Board, or some member thereof. Tho truth is, all these public improvements benefit tin whole people, and are entitled lo the fostering care i)f llio General Ass-mhly. Nor can we conceive that there is any real necessity for this war among rival in-loresis They nro cutting each other's throats, for the want of proper forbearance and interchange of intelli gent observation and reflection. ANECDOTE OF GOV. MORROW. A biend at our elbow relates the following incident iu tbo life of Gov, Morrow, which probably confers as high an eulegium nn his private chnrncier and pub lic wo rlli ns anything that has been snid: Disciituig ihe chatacter of Gov. Morrow wilh Judge Por. of Illinois, some lime in 1825 or '2(1, when Judge Porx was uu a visit to our capital be then said, in general terms, thai Gov. Morrow was ihe most influential member of Congress of his day lhat on the subject of the public lnnds he knew more than ihe I resident and his cabinet, and all Congress besides, nnd that while tue Governor was Chairman of the com miiiee oil Public Lands, and he (Judge Pope) was a member of Congress from lha West, and feeling alike with Air. MonRow ft deep interest Hi all legislation on the subject of this geat national domain, nud feeling, too, that he had a right to originate or advocuie measures equal to any other member, be nevertheless soon found that it was useless to atiempt to present his own viows if these did not agre with those of the Chair main of the committee. He, therefore, made it his rule, on all occasions of a dwiro to introduce a measure relating lo piAdic lands, lirst to consult Mr. Morrow, and never failed to succeed il approved by him. Hut when, subsequently. Gov. Mohhow entered Ihe Sen ale, and Gov. KnWARDs was alv in Ihe Senate from the Slale of Illinois, tbo latter gen'leniau felt disposed to allure ihe honors of legislating lor the publio land against the advice of Judge Purr, who strenuously urged upon him Hie i.eceasity ol coustiltlug Gov. Morrow, Ihe again Chairman of the committee on Public Lands iu the Senate, Mr. Edwards cIimb to present his views in opposition to Guv. Mohhow, in debate. Judge Porx went to ihe Senate Chamber where Gov. Morrow's report was to be rend, expecting to see fun, ai he termed it. He noticed that Senator generally were reading newspapers while Mohrow's report was in progress ut rending. One prominent Senator looked up and inquired what wns rending. He was answered by another, it was " old Jcrrt s laid report." "All's right, then," answered the inquirer, and procoeded with the reading of his newspaper. Gov. Bpwahus was probably the only attentive lisien- er, and the moment tho reading of the report was closed he commenced an attack uHin the report. This colled at once the attention of every Senator present, and all I reined tn look wilh astonishment upon the new Senator, and with wonder at the temerity of him who would darn in niiack " old Jrrrt's " report. No sooner hud Mr. KnwAitns closed than there sprung lo iheii feet more lhan a dozen uf the most prominent Senators, prepared to defend to the dealh both Jkri-miaii Morrow and his report; and, continued Judge Poi-a, Mr. Knwaiths soon I earned ihe posh ion they relatively occupied in the Sen a to of the Uniied Stales, and ever afterward governed himself accordingly.
